What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a UX-focused engineering team where I can build high-performance, scalable frontend systems—especially for fintech/healthcare—while improving usability and accessibility, partnering closely across backend, and driving clean architecture and measurable performance gains.

I’m a Frontend & Software Engineer (UX-focused) with experience building high-performance, user-facing systems in fintech and healthcare. I’m especially driven by real-time data, performance optimization, and turning complex workflows into reliable, intuitive interfaces.

At Plaude, I led frontend development for a multi-market fintech platform across Nigeria, US, UK, Canada, and India. I built and maintained core product experiences—multi-currency wallets, transaction flows, and onboarding—while rebuilding the frontend after a UX overhaul to improve usability, consistency, and overall performance.

I’ve also owned reliability and quality improvements at scale, including optimizing transaction-critical performance, reducing latency, and increasing automated test coverage from 0% to 70%+. I integrated multiple financial infrastructure providers (Monnify, Kora, Thunes, RouteFusion, Payaza, Pateno, Conduit, Tight) and translated financial operations into low-friction user experiences.

Previously, as Head of Engineering & Technology Operations (and formerly VP of Technology) at Purelife Health, I led architecture, integrations, platform scalability, and frontend code quality across web and mobile. Earlier roles included building real-time event-driven logistics systems and implementing testing and API integrations across multiple products, while mentoring teams to ship production-ready features.
